L’Anglais – depressed, over-educated, and about to turn thirty – arrives in Paris and resolves to prove himself in the city of his dreams by joining the sharp-suited brotherhood of Parisian waiters. What follows is intoxicating: nights spilling from the glamorous-looking brasserie into the streets of Bastille, love, lust, and the exhilarating sense of belonging to the coolest gang in town. But behind the façade of fine dining lies a world of exploitation and precarity, and as tensions rise among the staff, L’Anglais’ glittering new life begins to crack.
